Funhouse
Use code SOCKFUN to get this pattern or ANY of my colorwork sock designs for 60% OFF through May 15 (EDT)!
This eye-catching accessory combines stranded colorwork with self-striping yarn for an optical illusion that will keep your attention. Concentric diamonds call to mind the reflective mirrors of a funhouse, making these socks as interesting to knit as they are to wear. The gusset is worked along the bottom of the heel, creating additional interest to this unique footwear. There’s no need to leave home for entertainment when you have your very own Funhouse!
